Air districts: administrative rulemaking: standardized regulatory impact analysis.

CA AB1266 aimed to improve how air districts create rules by requiring a standardized analysis of the potential impacts of their regulations on air pollution. This would help ensure that decisions are based on consistent data and methods, making it easier to understand the effects of new regulations. However, the bill ultimately did not pass.

Supporters of CA AB1266 would argue that the bill would enhance transparency and accountability in air quality management. By standardizing regulatory impact analyses, the bill would ensure that all air districts consider the same factors, leading to more effective and informed policies aimed at reducing air pollution.

Critics of CA AB1266 might contend that the bill could create unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles for air districts, slowing down the regulatory process. They may argue that the standardized analysis could limit the flexibility needed to address unique local air quality challenges effectively.
